Philip Fay, one of the most popular young employees in the Southern Pacific service, died in the railway hospital at Sacramento Thursday, July 8th, at the age of 24 years. He had been sick but a short while, and a few days before his death went to the hospital where his malady was pronounced dropsy of the heart. He suffered intensely for a few days, when he succumbed, and his spirit returned to the source from whence it came.Philip Fay was born in Truckee. He entered the employ of the railroad company four years ago as an apprentice in the shops at Rocklin, coming to Roseville at the time of the general transfer. Only a few weeks ago, he finished his apprenticeship and was promoted to the ranks of skilled machinists. He was a modest, unassuming young man and had proved to be very popular among his fellow workmen and all who knew him. The remains were taken to Truckee for interment. A large number of friends from this city traveled to the mountain town to attend the funeral obsequies, which were held last Sunday afternoon from the Catholic Church. The parents of the deceased reside in Truckee. The funeral was one of the largest and most impressive which ever took place in the town.
